Compass Properties appears to be run entirely by Americans, displaying bibles on their desks,
PART OF THE NEO CONS THAN. WE KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO TO THE WORLD.
the company is registered in Barbados. They employ Moroccan staff who I have never found to be other than helpful and honest in the administrative tasks they carry out.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEING GIVEN EXPOSURE IN THEIR JOB WHERE THE UNLIMATE FALS ONTO THEM OR MONY GOES TO THEM.
The American running Compass certainly told me that the deficit in size was due to the 'developers' who are Moroccan,
SORRY, CANT ACCEPT THIS APPORTIONMENT OF BLAME. WHAT ROLE ARE PLAYING ARE THEY AGENTS OR DEVELOPERS ???? AS FAR I AM AWARE COMPASS WERE THE DEVELOPERS !!!!
but they continued to advertise the flats as a greater square meterage than is the case long after they could not have avoided knowing that this was not accurate,
IF YOU HAD BEEN SHORT CHANGED ON m2, I THINK YOU CAN BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE NOTARY THAT THE m2 IS OUTSIDE THE TOLERANCE AND YOU WILL NOT SIGN AND DEMAND A REFUND OF THE PRICE DIFFERENTAIL ON THE M2. TAKING OFF 5M TO 10M PER APARTMENT WILL GIVE COMPASS SPACE FOR A FEW APARTMENTS TO POCKET THE PROCEEDS.
and taking the profit.
I guess there are problems in every country. Official bribery is very rare in England,
DONT BET ON IT. PLANNING DEPARTMENTS ARE FULL OF IT. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT IT IS DONE MORE SUBTLY AND NOT ON YOUR FACE.
(below the political sphere where planning permission is swapped for amenities that are seen as political advantages like schools).
But try to get a non- paying tenant out who is wrecking your property and the council officials will advise them on how to gain many extra unpaying months by going to court,
COUNCIL KNOWS IF THEY LEAVE YOUR PROPERTY THE COUNCIL HAS TO HOUSE THEM.
making a token payment etc. And don't forget that every piece of fabric must have a fire certificate attached (if it fall offs,throw away the settee..), you must pay for an energy efficiency certificate when you change tenants,
THEY CAN BLAME THE EU FOR IT. BUT THERE IS VAT IN IT LIKE IN ANOTHER USELESS HIPS.
every gas and electrical appliance must be officially checked yearly, deposits against damage must be lodged with an official paid third party and you cannot use it to repay the unpaid rent,you pay tax on your empty flat while searching for a tenant...
WHAT YOU HAVE OVERLOOKED IS THAT THE DEPOSIT LODGED IS INFORMATION THAT BELONGS TO THE GOVERNMENT AND IS BEING MANUPLATED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND YES ONCE AGAIN THE INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX GOES INTO THE TREASURY.
Not of course that I would wish to gas or electrocute or evict my tenants ( and have avoided doing so so far) but keeping up to date with the regulations and filling in ever more forms is a disadvantage of renting property in England.
AGREE, 100%, IF YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF IT THAN THEY WANT YOUR 18% CAPITAL GAINS.
Taking the rough with the smooth, I have got a beautiful flat (by dint of buying two and joining them) in a lovely place for less than half the price of the equivalent in England. I may be naive, but I have liked the Moroccans I have met who have been friendly and kind - strangers have gone out of their way to help me with little things and not for money.
THEY ARE GOOD & BAD EVERWHERE. YOU CAN KEEP THE GOOD ONES AS FRIENDS ITS THE BAD ONE THAT ARE POLICE, CUSTOMS, TOWN PLANNING, ETC, THE ONES THAT YOU CANT AVOID AS THE SYSTEM PUSHES TOWARDS THEM.
It is the foreigners in Morocco, such as an Irish company, that have tried to con me.
Some nationalities are shocked by public drunken and promiscuous behaviour, others don't mind that much but are shocked by by bribery and nepotism,
WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE IN ONE SOCIETY IS NOT IN ANOTHER. IT IS FOR THIS REASON NO SOCIETY CAN CLAIM THAT THEY ARE RIGHT AND OTHERS ARE NOT.
buying abroad is an adventure and a risk, balancing the plus and minusand working out whether the trade off is worth the profit.
AGREE AND NOT ONLY PROFIT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT ONE GETS IN INVALUABLE. AS WE ALL SHARE ON FORUMS LIKE THIS & OTHERS.
